heavy-eyed
Barely staying awake
Heavy-eyed describes eyes that feel weighted down by fatigue or drowsiness—the sensation when lids want to close and staying awake requires effort.
Someone heavy-eyed is visibly tired: She sat heavy-eyed through the midnight meeting.
The term can also suggest eyes puffy or swollen from crying or lack of sleep.
